Title: For a critical archeology of “scientific” economics: utility function and enlightenment moral philosophy
Para una arqueología crítica de la economía “científica”: función de utilidad y filosofía moral ilustrada
Publisher: Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios - UNIMINUTO
Description: As Modern Economy developed as a “science”, its ideologic fundaments were both secularized and naturalized, after understanding the discipline under deterministic, mechanistic, and legalistic assumptions. But such fundaments were already among European discussions on moral philosophy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thus, even though the “utility function” was presented as a tool to the scientific status of the economy, it is regulated by the same extra-scientific foundations of the discipline. Later on, when presenting such conditionality, the condition of “science” of the economy is questioned, and arguments for a critical discussion of the ideological and cultural model that it entails and imposes its theory in practice. 
Al ser desarrollada la Economía Moderna como “ciencia”, se secularizaron y naturalizaron sus fundamentos ideológicos al comprenderse la disciplina bajo supuestos deterministas, mecanicistas y legalistas. Pero, tales fundamentos ya se ubican en las discusiones de la filosofía moral europea de los siglos XVII y XVIII. Así, si bien la “función de utilidad” se presentará como una herramienta acorde al estatus científico de la Economía, está condicionada por los mismos fundamentos extracientíficos de la disciplina. Luego, al exponer tales condicionamientos queda en cuestión la condición de “ciencia” de la Economía y se entregan argumentos para una discusión crítica del modelo ideológico y cultural que ella.
